Monday Mini Food Artist: Le Chou Chou Bijoux

This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Paola of Le Chou Chou Bijoux!

From her shop profile: I am Annapaola Rapacciuolo, a graduate goldsmith and jewellery designer born in Italy near the city of Naples, which has a great tradion of goldsmiths and miniatures (yes, this is the famous city of San Gregorio Armeno, the "street of cribs").

I’ve always been a person with...logistical problems: this pushes me to make “pocket” and reduced to essentials all I have. Jewels are one of the smallest (in terms of size of course) existent art forms. I studied jewelry design at the largest jewelry center in southern Italy (the Tarì of Marcianise), but my first encounter with this world so fascinating was when i was a child during an archaeological exhibition in which I saw the jewels found under the ashes of Vesuvius. They live through not only people but also the most of the works of art and buildings: having a great symbolic and economic value and small size, they were the principal objects that all the people took while were fleeing.

A jewel for me is “portable art”.

She has also been featured in "Daily Accessories" in May, 2010, an Italian fashion magazine.

Monday Mini Food Artist: Silly Chic

This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Madeleine of Silly Chic!

From her shop profile: I've been creating and collecting things since I was a small girl.

I love kitch combined with simplicity. I recently had to be pulled out of a store that had a human sized Jesus figure for sale... It was so sweeet! And I pictured it would blend in awesomely in my (non existent) dream home's grey, white and black colored living room.

Other than that I collect vintage marble and alabaster sculptures.


She also has a degree in art history and architecture.
